What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, GTA is declining across multiple metrics versus the same period, suggesting current pressure is not coming from just one side — profit is at an all-time high. More notably, most of the profit comes from non-core sources — this needs careful evaluation before concluding on growth quality.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 5.0% = 3.2% × 0.70 × 2.27
2026Q1 4.0% = 2.7% × 0.68 × 2.19

ROE fell from 5.0% to 4.0% — all three components weakened, with leverage being the main drag.

Net margin: 2.7% -0.5pp Asset turnover: 0.68x -0.01x Leverage: 2.19x -0.08x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins are under pressure while earnings still rely significantly on non-core sources.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 2.69%, falling 0.5pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 1.1pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.1pp (with additional support from Net financial result / Revenue rose 0.4pp and Other profit / Revenue rose 0.3pp).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 2.69% −0.5pp
Gross Margin 9.37% −1.1pp
SG&A / Revenue 9.79% +0.1pp
Non-core / Revenue 3.82% +0.7pp

Watchpoints

Financial result is supporting margin

Financial result accounts for 112.3% of PBT and lifted net margin by 0.7pp — separate the operating contribution from this source.

Is capital being used efficiently?

Evaluate capital, asset, and working-capital efficiency.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC narrowed to 1.58%, falling 0.6pp. That translates to 1.58 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. The main pressure came from NOPAT margin narrowed 0.7pp, outweighing the movement in capital turnover; with invested capital holding roughly steady.

Pressure came from the margin side — core operations are weakening, not just a temporary asset-management issue.

Watchpoints

ROIC remains low

ROIC is currently 1.58% — below the typical cost-of-capital threshold; worth tracking whether upcoming periods can rise above this level.

NOPAT Margin 2.05% −0.7pp
Capital Turnover 0.77x −0.01x
Average Invested Capital 312.9bn −15.9bn

Balance Sheet

Capital structure is balanced — liabilities at 0.96x equity, net debt at 0.55x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 40.0bn, roughly 12.9% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 0.0bn of cash.

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 5.5 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 1.1 days, DSO rose 0.0 days, and DPO fell 4.3 days.

All 3 drivers are deteriorating — working capital is becoming more deeply tied up in the operating cycle.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 91.8 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +0.0 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Is financial risk significant?

Check leverage, liquidity, and cash-flow conversion.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage warrants monitoring, with net debt / equity at 0.55x and interest coverage only at 0.96x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 7.5% of debt, and total debt stands at 94.8bn.

Watchpoints

Interest coverage is thin

Interest coverage is 0.96x, leaving limited room to absorb financing costs.

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.55x −0.78x
Interest Coverage 0.96x −0.82x
Cash / Debt 7.5% +2.8pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 1.24x +2.11x

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 25.1bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of 3.4bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +28.5bn. Financing cash flow was negative +12.2bn.

CFO / net income was 1.24x.

Track how much investment can be funded internally from operating cash flow.

Cash capex or FCF data is incomplete, so the cash-conversion view is only partial.

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. Even so, earnings quality still needs closer monitoring because net financial result remains elevated. The main risk still sits in capital efficiency remains weak, with ROIC at 1.6%.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.24x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 88.4% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: Capital efficiency remains weak.
